Answer 1

The correct option is C William$:10$ candies

George $:20$ candies
$30$ candies needs to be distributed such that George gets twice no. of candies as that of William.
Hence, for every candies William receives, George will receive $2$ candies.
Further, if William receives $10$ candies, George will receive $20$ candies.
Total candies distributed $=10+20=30$ candies.
